Hello! I’m Kendy Ferguson, and I am a seasoned graphic designer with experience in corporate identity design and small business design. My interpersonal skills are strong and I have an engaging, fun and optimistic personality. With over 16 years of experience using Adobe Creative Suite programs and with my education, I come packaged with a solid understanding of typography, page layout, pre-press preparation, website design, HTML and CSS, and digital photography and editing.
I have a marketing degree from Utah State University as well as three years in the Graphic Design program at the University of Utah. I have a passion for design projects in which I can dedicate my talents to create a superior image and strong identity.
